This workout DVD Contains five workouts that were made from taking various exercise segments from several Body Blast workouts and mixing them in a new and unique way. We've also added about 25 minutes of exclusive workout footage that was made just for this fitness DVD.

Most of the workouts on this DVD are less than 45 minutes in length. Four of the workouts feature a "timesaver" cardio section followed by a muscle conditioning section emphasizing just one or two muscle groups. The fifth workout is a lower body muscle conditioning workout.

This fitness DVD was patterned after our very popular Cross Train Xpress and is perfect for people who want an intense workout but are in a time crunch!

I own almost all of Cathe's DVDs, but I recently bought this one, even though I already own all of the other workouts in this series. I noticed that Cathe had put it in this month's rotation because we're all so short on time during the holidays. I gave it a try this week, and I'm so glad I did! The workouts are short, so there's no dread factor, and the shorter cardio segments have been easier on my joints than some of Cathe's longer cardio workouts. (I love Cathe's step workouts.)

I am so happy with this format that I think I may try recreating this concept with some of my other Cathe DVDs, using short timesaver cardio premixes with single body part segments from weight workouts. (And I see that the new ICE series has premixes that are sort of like this too, using the Blizzard Blasts...can't wait!)

Don't like Cathe's step workouts

Cathe's step workouts are a deal breaker for me.They are sooo hard for me to learn.The only step workout of hers that I can do is the ones that are in like her New Xtrain workout Tabatacise,and also her Cardio Supersets,To the Max,the ones where you are not doing over facing over,off the side with figure 8's,off the back into cha chas,then she goes all the way around the step oh my goodness.I wish she would do step workouts that are little easier.I have had to pass up her step workouts because they are hard to learn.Then, sometimes she cues as she is going into the move,that makes it harder to learn.I love Cathe,don't get me wrong,I do have several of her workouts.Just the step is what gets me.

I have several Cathe DVDs but this is the one has become my favorite! I work full-time and have two very young children, so I don't have much time (maybe an hour a day) to workout. The workouts on this DVD are the perfect length and cover everything I want in a workout. Since putting them into my weekly regime (I run every other day and to one the workouts on this DVD on the other day) I have toned up and lost 3lbs when I was not even trying to lose weight. I absolutely LOVE this DVD! Thanks, Cathe!

Great for busy schedules

I work 10+ hour days. I find that this is a great workout to do when I get home. Good cardio workout. I often add extra weight work, but this has a good mix. My only wishes: (1) more cardio options that aren't step (2) some gym-style weight work (3) MORE TIMESAVER DVDs!

The BEST...

I have probably 100 workout dvds, however, I constantly reach for this workout. The only problem I have with it is which one should I do. My time in the morning is limited, so I usually have time to do 2 of them. They are all great. I don't have a barbell, so just substitute dumbells which works fine.
